This is similar to the changes for alchemy and inscription for Living Steel and Darkmoon cards, respectively.

In order to craft the silk, you'll need to be in the Silken Fields of the Valley of the Four Winds.

Comment by meldora

The Silken Fields is in the center of Valley of the Four Winds (62,58). You can safely get there with a level 80 as long as you can safely get to Pandaria first.

Touched by the Hands of the Immortal God Emperor and given to the most faithful of His servants. Used to forge the most powerful of armaments for his chosen servants. Forged in the silken fields by the most skillful of artificers, unless influenced by the spirit of harmony the crafting may only be performed once per day.

Ave Imperator, rex hominos brothers.

Siken fields is just to the south east of halfhill.

Comment by Zurr

There are two recipes to make this cloth.

The first one, with a one day cool down, requires 40 windwool cloth to make. The Song of Harmony recipe, no cool down, requires 25 windwool cloth and 3 spirits of harmony.

1 Spirit of Harmony can be traded for 20 cloth, making the Song of Harmony recipe effectively 85 windwool cloth.

If you want to be efficient in making Imperial Silk, trade the Spirits of Harmony for cloth, and wait for the cool down. Only use Song of Harmony if you are in a hurry to make the silk.

Dontlookdown said:"If you only have tailoring and no other crafting profession on your particular toon, trade in your spirits for imperial silk. There's no other use for the spirits."

Not true, you need Spirits to buy the high end Tailoring patterns in Shrine of Two Moons.

Can also drop from the Caches you use keys for in vale of eternal blossoms (guo-lai cache)

Coming in 5.1!

Doing your daily cooldown will have a chance to create bonus companion pets! The pets available will be either Imperial Moth or Imperial Silkworm. One of them is an Imperial Moth which seems almost like a reskin of Blue Moth, but from the screenshots ive seen i believe its a model new to the pets system. The other possibility is an Imperial Silkworm which looks like a smaller version of Mutated Silkworm.

NEW: The vessel from which you will get either of these will be a Silkworm Cocoon, this is always created while doing your daily imperial silk cooldown and has a chance to contain one of them, along with always containing a piece of silk.

What's the point of making us go to the silken fields? Waste of time....

Comment by shotsing

Finding the silken fields, is just a pain.... Please any help would be awsome.

Comment by DELczeano

It should be noted that every recipe that uses Imperial Silk (at this point) either requires MOP reputation (Golden Lotus, August Celestials) or drops from raids (and requires a currently-uncommon raid reagent Blood Spirit, akin to Living Ember or Crusader Orb).

While you may be eager to get started on spending daily cooldowns to create these on a below-90 character that you are leveling Tailoring on, you won't be able to do much with them until hitting 90 or spending a lot of gold.

Comment by Brachamuul

If, like me, you have a level 80 toon for tailoring, you have several ways of getting to the Silken Fields :> Getting a Warlock friend to Summon you there.You'll need to find an available warlock, and two other people ready to help you out and teleport you. If you have friends, this is the easiest way.> Getting a Mage to make you a portal to Valley of Eternal Blossoms.As far as I know, there is no way for you to leave the Valley of Eternal Blossoms at level 80. You'll need a friend with a flying mount with an extra seat to carry you to Silken Fields.

Once you effectively are there, you either need to stay put for your daily Imperial Silk, or you'll want to go back and forth from Orgrimmar or Stormwind. If you want to go back and forth, since you can't take the normal Pandaria portal, you'll have to set your hearthstone to Halfhill, near the Silken Fields, and you'll want to use one of the guild rewards to teleport back to your Capital city.

However, it should be noted that these patterns are expensive, and require the equally expensive Blood Spirit.

Comment by crazeheals

Let's not stack them more than 20 because bag space is not a problem in 5.0.5..... I have 25 imperials already and it's frustrating to see that my bag space is getting lower and lower with all the turnips, meats, bug zappers and everything.

Probably i'll switch to 28 slot bags (which are seriously too hard to make req. 12 cloth) if they don't add new recipies in 5.1 for tailoring.

Comment by Piari

For Horde, you port in to Honeydew Village. If you want the flight path between there and Halfhill, you need to pick up the flight points in Dawn's Blossom and Pang's Stead on your way.

Comment by Lancestalker27

I don't know if its because of the latest patch 5.1, but today when I tried to create my daily Imperial silk it came up with the message "You have too many of that item already".

Maybe blizz added a cap of 20 with the latest patch, because i have 23 in my bag and that seems like a odd number to cap it at..

Comment by Darkdemize

It seems that a change was made to the crafting process for this item. If you are getting an error telling you that you have too many of this item, check your bags for Silkworm Cocoon. These are now created and contain the silk, instead of crafting the silk directly. The icon is identical to Boiled Silkworm Pupa.

Comment by Donkeysauce

Tooltip does not tell you but you can only have up to 40 (2 stacks worth) in your bags at a time...

Comment by StormbornRage

Can anyone please tell me what they sell theirs for? I currently have only the 476 patterns and am not sure how much the silk is worth.I've seen people advertising asking 1k per cloth, but I've also seen people asking 1k per Spirit of Harmony and highly doubt that they are still selling for that much (with the exception of 496 items which would make sense.)So, in summation, should I charge between 500-750g per silk where someone with 496 patterns might charge 1k or is no one even charging that much anymore?

My point is that people always want bigger bags! Make it rain Tailoring!

Comment by neopatra

You now can get new random recipe by crafting it, so do this every day until u'll have nothing more to study from the list of items that u can get from it :)also when you craft then u somtimes get a pet too.

Comment by stickshift

I now know (36) "Crafted" and (4) Falling Blossom patterns and the past two days making imperial silk since, I have learned no further patterns. I've categorized the # of patterns by slots below.

I believe this Tailoring List has itemized each of these for more details (plus some non-discovery patterns learned at quartermasters, trainers, random drops, etc).

If I've left anything out please share!

Comment by ziao

I am a warlock tailor, and every day I use this, I learn one of the Crafted Dreadful set, but everytime (4 times now) it's for mages only. What's going on here?

Comment by Zyrinx

Juast as a FYI - you need the Dawns Blosson flightpath to fly from Pawdon to Halfhill

Comment by Paulosio

I just looted 1 of these from the golden chests in Guo Lai halls.. Might have been added in 5.4 because i'd never seen 1 in those chests before then. The keys for the chests are also far more common drops than pre 5.4.

Comment by R4gingw1nd

Being in Silken Field to produce this is no longer required. They can be produced anywhere.

Comment by Binaire

Does the daily cooldown ever diminish? It seems that since MoP was 3 expansions ago that a character's mastery in tailoring would mean that they shouldn't have to wait 24 hours to create trivial materials.
